Why John Wick Shouldn’t Be in the John Wick TV Show
The John Wick films are interesting not just because of Wick himself and Keanu Reeves' intensely-watchable portrayal of the character, but because of the mysterious world established around him - one filled with assassins and centered on a hotel called The Continental. And now, a television show named after the hotel is in the works with Reeves himself executive-producing the whole affair. We love John Wick, so we're nervous. Let’s talk about what Starz has to do to get this show right…
Here’s how to make the John Wick TV show work!
Let’s make a comparison to the legendary sitcom Parks & Recreation. In one particularly amazing recurring bit, the show's resident nerd Ben Wyatt creates his own game, the Cones of Dunshire. It's an absurd concept with complicated rules, including a player who serves as the Ledgerman, a person who wears a sea captain's hat and keeps score.
PUBG’s New Anti-Cheat Measures Are Rolling Out On PC
PUBG has a problem with cheaters. We all know it. We even encountered one on our livestream. But anti-cheat measures are being implemented to stamp out this behaviour and ban players who are spoiling the fun for the rest of us.
The current test build of the game will be moving to the live servers on PC, according to a Tweet from the official PUBG account - and a lengthier update over on Steam details that new security measures are a part of this patch.
Dragon Ball FighterZ Network Issues Fixed For One Last Beta
Mere days before launch, Bandai Namco has announced one last 24-hour Dragon Ball FighterZ beta for Xbox One players to dive into.
The Dragon Ball FighterZ beta on the Xbox One has had more than its fair share of problems. But hey, that's what they're are for. The initial beta, which ran from January 13 to 16, experienced a multitude of "network issues" which Bandai Namco acknowledged, and they followed it up with a 24-hour open beta on January 17 which promised "improvements to the experience".
Dead By Daylight Saw Tie-In DLC Gets Gruesome New Trailer
Behaviour Interactive is adding another chapter to its asymmetrical 4-v-1 multiplayer survival horror title, Dead by Daylight. Hot on the heels of Nightmare on Elmstreet's Freddy Krueger, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface, comes a Saw-themed map, survivor, and killer.
The new chapter introduces The Pig, detective David Tapp, and the Gideon Meat Plant. In case you hadn't pieced together their roles, The Pig is the new killer, and poor old David is the new survivor.
Sonic the Hedgehog’s New Ally Is Tangle the Lemur
Sonic the Hedgehog’s upcoming comic book series will be introducing a new character named Tangle, a ring-tailed lemur.
Check her out:
After over 300 issues at Archie Comics, IDW Publishing acquired the rights to make Sonic comics from Sega in 2017 and are rebooting the series with a fresh #1. Starting over from scratch gives IDW and series writer Ian Flynn the chance to shake things up and add new things to Sonic’s world, and Tangle is one of them.
“Before she even had a name, we knew we wanted her to be like a lot of other great Sonic characters and have a special ability tied to one of her features. Think Tails or Knuckles,” IDW associate editor David Mariotte told IGN in an email interview. “So, we were brainstorming animals who could do cool stuff and a ring-tailed lemur who could use her tail alternately like a whip or like a fist was too cool to pass up! Throw in her scrappiness, she likes to ‘tangle’ with bad guys, and you have an awesome character!”

Dark Universe Being ‘Reconfigured’ By Universal After Setbacks
Universal's Dark Universe franchise is set to be 'reconfigured', according to a writer who has stepped away from one of its lead projects.
Invisible Man writer Ed Soloman revealed to Digital Spy that he won't be working on the movie any longer, citing differences in vision.
"I think Universal and I had a different idea of what the movie was gonna be", he explained. "We began thinking that our notions would meld, and I should've listened more closely to what they really were wanting."
Solomon further noted that Universal is now working to change the Dark Universe in the wake of setbacks:
Persona Developer Could Be Making ‘PS4 High-End Action Game’
Atlus fans, rejoice! It looks like the Japanese developer of Persona 5 is brewing something new for PS4.
Spotted by Gematsu, a job advert titled "2D Concept Design / Key Animation Talents! PS4 High-End Action Game" appeared, posted by a "long-standing consumer game maker famous for its unique goddess (megami) and demon RPGs."
After a lot of chin rubbing and thoughtful moustache twirling, the consensus is that it's Atlus. If you want more proof, Setagaya is listed as the location, which happens to be where Atlus' office is based.
Shortly after the story was picked up, that ad was removed, along with a second one for a UI designer.
Total War: Warhammer 2 Drops Free Character Alongside DLC
Total War: Warhammer 2 players can now download Legendary Skaven Lord, Tretch Craventail, on Steam, free of charge.
The Chieftan of Clan Rictus is just the kind of vermin you want troops to rally behind, with attack bonuses kicking in during an ambush or fight, after an initial retreat with your tail between your legs.
Being the ultimate rat, Tretch has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. According to the Steam page, troops "under Tretch’s direct control can vanguard deploy in all battles, and his empire revels in discord, gaining public order bonuses whenever diplomatic treaties are broken."
